According to Amazon.co.uk, Atari's Asterix & Obelix XXL for PlayStation 2 will be ported to the GameCube. Asterix & Obelix XXL is an action game based on the famous French comic book series by Les Edition Albert Ren¿/Goscinny-Uderzo. The gameplay is similar to Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga because you control both characters simultaneously (but there are no RPG elements). Players will have to use both Asterix's and Obelix's powers in combination to escape this adventure. Combo moves include twister fusion, earthquake, and atomic magic potion.

40 different levels will pit the duo against as many as 70 Romans at once. Also, Atari has converted the cartoon world of Goscinny/Uderzo into detailed 3D.

Asterix & Obelix XXL is currently scheduled for a European release on June 25, 2004. It's unclear whether it will eventually end up in the US.
